It's best to put your blazon in the message body, too, as some mail
systems divorce the message from the header.
The proposed blazon:
Fieldless, three triquetras, each interlaced with an annulet, one and
two conjoined sable
First, fieldless isn't part of the blazon. This gives me the chance
to happily quote one of my favorite Laurel precedents, from the first
tenure of Master Da'ud ibn Auda:
"The reason I place '{Fieldless}' at the beginning of the blazons
of fieldless badges is to
make it clear that the field tincture has not been left off in
error. I do not consider '{Fieldless}'
to be a part of the 'real' blazon, but an administrative notation
which may sometimes
prevent confusion or the belief that the lack of a field tincture
is due to a typographical
error. {Not that I ever make typogrephical erors, mined yu!}" (CL
11/5/90 p.3).
So, if all three triquetrae are pointing up, the blazon would be:
(Fieldless) Three triquetras one and two each interlaced with an
annulet, conjoined sable.
I think. Blazon is mutable - it will be changed to match the
emblazon. So do your best and don't be surprised if the College of
Arms finds a better blazon for you.
This is two different types of charge, so I conflict checked both
annulets and triquetrae. Also, Laurel has ruled that a triquetra and
trefoil knot are not different (one has points, the other doesn't,
artistic difference only), so I checked those, too.
I found no conflicts. Draw it well, to avoid the appearance of
thin-line heraldry and to maintain the identifiability of everything
(all that interlacing might fool the eye). Even if the triquetrae
aren't all palewise, there aren't any conflicts I found.
